Abstract

The formation of hybrid nanostructures consisting of InP@ZnS colloidal quantum dots and mesotetra(3-pyridyl)porphyrin molecules adsorbed on the quantum dots has been studied. In such nanostructures, strong quenching of quantum dot luminescence and an increase in the emission intensity of porphyrin are observed due to nonradiative resonance energy transfer from colloidal quantum dots to porphyrin.
